NVC March 2010 Edition!

[TatyanaR 6]

The AVR is 3 days behind with the mail.

Well if its 3 days behind then maybe I should call today & see what the operator has to tell me since AVR says they are processing the packets as of the 22nd. Hmmm. What do you think?

[yulechka42 2]

Thanks girl! Best of luck to you also!

Thats great!!! But they received our paperwork the same day but only started processing mine on the 22nd. Damb slow mailroom. Well lets pray for a RFE free journey!!!!

I really want to stop stressing out ) I talked to the operator, and she said they have nor reviewed the AOS package yet but confirmed they received it on 18th.... Now we just wait and keep our figers crossed. If everything goes smoothly and we assume about 12 days to LIF, ours shoud be around 29th..... Ughhhhhh waiting and waiting and waiting.

Mr. Sachinky was sleeping when I woke him up screaming at 3AM. He was muttered a few "ah, wonderfuls" and fell promptly back to sleep.

I'm glad I got to deliver the news this time. When we got our NOA2 approval, he was the one who woke me up to a raging hangover from a night out with the girls.

Loving the time difference, can you tell?

[TatyanaR 6]

Man, I'm still SO happy. It's been nearly 9 hours since I got that SIF and I can't stop grinning. Today was the first day I signed in without ANY expectations whatsoever. Totally thought it would go right through to the RECEIPT PAGE as usual. When I got the error message, I was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, b*tches! I'd been waiting for this moment for a month now, I thought when it finally happened I'd be all like, "yeah, okay, cool, whatever." -- but I was screaming my head off.

I was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, b*tches!

Guys, I know it's a bit early but I'm freaking out.

What bloody documents we have to bring to the interview besides medical and proof of relationship?

I tried to find information, but it seems that ALL Brazilians only file for K1. Argh

Do I need to bring any documents? I sent all my documents to NVC already!

I was thinking I have to bring only medical, appointment letter, 2 photos and proof of relationship.

I was trying to wait until we open a new thread for interviews but I'm so confused that I can't wait!!

I just read the reviews and the guy (K1 of course) said the documents need to be in a certain order and stuff. The only info I found at the Embassy website was for K3: http://www.embaixadaamericana.org.br/pdfs/ImportantPKT4_K3-K4_eng_jul09.pdf

Did you call & speak to the operator today or? I am thinking if its worth a call for me or I will just get stressed out more.

I want hubby's case to process asap but for sure before the end of the month. Praying for a May interview (but of course sooner would be nice).

I just can't wait for the DS-230 and civil documents to be delivered. Sachinky: How long do you think it'll take for the NVC to say that it's complete?

Natalia--Once you receive your interview letter, I believe, it will tell what exactly to bring for the interview.

Yes, you will need your medical, the proof of relationship. Basic documents.

Always a good idea to carry copies of everything submitted so far--especially the AOS and DS230. Check the validity of the PCCs and see if you need new ones before the interview.

Check out the Brazilian consulate website for more information.

Let's see who between the two of us gets their case complete first?! My husband's ds-230 and Docs should be at NVC by tomorrow.

[sachinky 464]

Lovelies--8-11 BUSINESS days from the date NVC received your last package to a case complete, barring any RFEs.

Really, it's that simple.

You can call NVC as many times as you want, not gonna change how fast they process your case.

So count 8-11 business days from the date NVC received your last package, and sign in on each one of those days till you get a case complete. Of course, also call the AVR to stay on top of any RFEs that might pop up.

I spoke to an operator today.... My AOS was actually delivered to them on 15th, entered on 18th, but they tell me it has not been reviewed yet.... Considering that they just entered the DS 230 I think I'm going to wait until beginning of next week to talk to them again. In the meantime I will call AVR everyday to catch RFE the same day if it gets issued. Seems like the end is so near, and yet my stress over seems to increase with each day.

Hey Sachinky are you counting business days from the time NVC received the last package or the time when the input it into AVR?

[sachinky 464]

Business days from the date NVC received your last package. Used to be 5-7 days before.

The AVR's been unreliable for the past week or so. Simply put, it's out of whack.

Thank you dear! I do have all the copies and the PCCs are valid for a year.

I was just concerned about the forms etc, but I think I should be fine.

Can't wait for our interview thread!!! It's going to be a funny one. Imagine all of us freaking out the day before the interview? :rofl:

I hear ya friend!

I will hold off on calling them till Friday. I just hope I don't get bad news for the weekend. But yes me too, I call AVR like 3-4 times a day. No harm in that. Better call more & catch an RFE if their is one or not call at all.
